Oh my. That geranium looks like an ink drawing @Plantminded Beautiful.

 

Cosmos

Still got a few roses

 

That geranium is quite similar to G. renardii @Plantminded , but does your one flower for a good time? G. renardii only flowers for a breif time and no 2nd flushes. I'm considering getting rid of mine from a couple of sites it's in. Not worth having unfortunately.
The Calendula Orange Porcupine has earned it's keep, while the Red Brocade marigold is too much bother due to slugs, so I won't use that again. A wee self seeded grass [Uncinia Rubra] works with the colours too, but it's short lived as it doesn't manage the winter very well.


View across the pond. The fir tree will get cut for C'mas this year I think



Hydrangea Soeur Therese starting to colour up nicely

 

It's a G. oxonianum @fairygirl and yes it's still flowering now after a cut back mid summer. The leaves are attractive too with dark blotches. I'm not sure that you will like it though as the flowers are verging on a pastel shade of pink . I took the photo late in the day so it looks better . See what you think here:

Some more grass photos.

This is a neat little evergreen grass for filling in gaps, Sesleria Greenlee Hybrid.

Miscanthus flower (bad hair day ).

 

Very nice grasses @Plantminded

 

Thanks for that link @Plantminded - I had a look, and yes, yuck!
G. renardii is absolutely white with the clear purple veining, and doesn't alter in any way, but that pink colour is exactly what I don't like so I'll give yours a miss

 

I didn't think you'd like it @fairygirl , I'm not keen on the colour either but it fills a tricky space.....at the moment!
